Matthew 5:12
Douay-Rheims
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
George Leo Haydock
Reward, in Latin merces, in Greek misthos , signifies wages done for hire, and due for work, and presupposes merit. (Bristow) — If you participate in the sufferings of the prophets, you will equally participate in their glory, their reward. (Haydock)
